We have six to twelve of us at any given service that carry concealed. We have discussed with the pastor starting a security team as several of us have specific training that we could bring to the team. His response was that our insurance was cost prohibitive to have an organized security team. Therefore, we train and carry privately with his nod of approval... unofficially, so our insurance is affordable. I carried this morning as I taught kids in Sunday School, directed the choir and sang two specials in a trio. Nobody is keeping anyone from starting a private group of sheep dogs helping protect the flock.
Exactly. I pray that most churches are handling the danger the same way.
I didn’t think of the insurance angle. Makes sense that they couldn’t give permission due to the liability. I will still carry until they stop me - them I’m gone.
Good on you Doc! I, too, carry to church.....just a little west of you.
I was thinking about Sheep Dogs as I watched the initial reports and crying my eyes and heart out. Even the sheep have a Sheep Dog for protection. We must protect the sheep.
